Reaction Steps

13 g of 3-(3-cyano-2,4,6-tribromophenyl)propionic acid is introduced into a solution of 3.2 g of caustic soda in 64 ml of water. The solution is then stirred for 3 hours at 60° C., filtered repeatedly over active carbon to decolorize, and subsequently the filtrate is brought to pH 1 by the addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The precipitate is vacuum-filtered, washed with water, and dried at 50° C., thus obtaining 16 g (95% of theory) of 3-(3-carbamoyl-2,4,6-tribromophenyl)propionic acid as a white powder, mp 197° C.
